In which year was the Fawlty Towers PC game released?

The story behind the answer

The Fawlty Towers PC game was released in 2000.

The game was a licensed computer tie-in based on the BBC sitcom, arriving more than two decades after the television series ended. The original programme had broadcast only 12 episodes across two series, in 1975 and 1979, so the game drew on the show’s established characters, settings and comic situations rather than continuing its television storyline.

Released for personal computers, it combined interactive mini-games with Fawlty Towers-themed extras. Contemporary descriptions mention desktop-customising content and video clips from the programme, making it part game and part multimedia fan package. Its release belongs to the late-1990s and early-2000s period when television licences were often used for CD-ROM entertainment products.

The answer is sometimes confused with 1997 because Fawlty Towers had earlier home-media activity, including a 1997 reissue of an audio release. That date was not the PC game’s release year. Nor should the game be confused with later stage adaptations: Fawlty Towers Live premiered in Australia in 2016, long after the computer title appeared.
